Wonderful setting
First and foremost this is a wonderful location if you like water. I’m an open water swimmer and this was idyllic for me. The lovely little beach was accessed by a short walk across open ground and a path between trees. A little log bench allowed you to sit and look out over the water to your heart’s content. I pretty much had the lake to myself for swimming.
The accommodation is well positioned with a nice view, a good partially covered terrace for sitting out and is reasonably private. Facilities inside are mainly good - it is essentially a mobile home so bedrooms are small but it has a good sized living area. There is a good sized supermarket 3 minutes drive away in Lobnitz. I really enjoyed my 5 night stay here.
That being said there are some downsides, and some inaccuracies in the description which it would be worth being aware of, but they didn’t spoil the holiday for me.
1) Linen is provided but at an additional charge. Ditto re towels.
2) There is not a toilet in the shower room as described. The toilet is in a separate cubicle which is really cramped - would be improved by removing the sink to allow room for manoeuvre. If you are large and/or tall this could be tricky.
3) Thank goodness for Google translate! Although it says the host speaks English and German all communication from Holger was in German and Angela, the lovely lady who let us into the property didn’t speak any English at all. We managed fine, but it helps to know this in advance.
4) Finally, and it’s a small thing, there is a working gravel quarry on the opposite side of the lake to the right hand side. The view of it from the property is obscured by the trees, but it is very clear when you go to the lake. I didn’t find it a problem in any way, either the look or the sound of it (not loud at all) but I’m mentioning it for completeness.
Overall this was a good place to stay and I would come back.
